Baseball bat to head

the bat one was shot with two layers on green screen then composited together.

same dealio with the car one, 2 layers sandwhiched ontop of each other.
 
Good stuff. It seemed to me like you sped it up a bit, I thought that heightened it in a comedic way and helped sell it. But a second look at the edges, especially around the red shirts, give the greenscreen elements away. I don't know if the filter needs some adjustment (I've only ever used the key in final cut, don't use aftereffects much) or if the greenscreen needs slightly more even lighting. But even the way it is, if you cut the hit in quickly enough to some context I doubt many people would notice (certainly not the first time). The spliced stuff I bought entirely though...that car hit was pretty brutal.
 
the car hit was awsome. curious to know how you got the car to do that hump, unless you just drove it over a speed bump.

explain plz :)
 
Ouch... I got hit in the head with a metal baseball bat when I was 4. Got the scar to prove it. Thanks to my brother for that one.

Great stuff. You could always ditch the green screen and shoot a plate of the scene, the guy getting hit, and then the bat hitting an object (round pillow or something). Of course you would need constant lighting and to use a remote to start/stop the cam (so as not to move it). Good green screening is no easy task.

Car hit looks great too.

The "bat hit" and "car hit" stuff is good times... basically "anything hit" is fun.
 
Pretty good.

There are some artifacts - orange halo, noticeable against his shirt - shoulder/bicep area and you can see the bat is cropped off at the top at one point - but nothing you'd notice if that was spliced into a film that quick - 'pends on how anal you are.

nice job. almost shat myself.

The car one is pretty damn seamless - bet'ya can't wait to put that to use.
 
Build a better green screen. Light the subject and the green screen. Smooth light to make the green screen 1 even color. Use the Zebra function and check for hotspots on the screen before you shoot.
 
yea good green screening is indeed no easy task. I never strived for flawless results when i did this i just wanted to test out the idea i had for a while. Im doing some new tests and what-not for the green screen. hopefully itll pay off. but for now it is what it is, and its not like im trying to pan it off as a "realistic looking shot" its on a green screen and its obvious at that.
